Scopia may be far away from Egypt but it still has a lot of worth in my eyes simply bacause it was bequeathed to me by Kosmas... And I have to disagree with you, how can a House be more important than land ? Without land, there is no hope of ever seeing one's House grow... A landless House is worthless... It will never field an army to defend its part of the Empire, it will not be able to recruit new members...

If I hear you well you would want to restrict Senators to the right of holding only a single province, I doubt those those concerned would be willing to surrender them to landless senators without any counterpart in the form of an oath. Or is it just me that you want to bar from holding two provinces ?

And I will concur with our megas : you got off easier... You cut a bloody swath through Anatolia and all you had to suffer was your Lord and vassals turning their backs on you... I might add that it was not long before you found a comforting shoulder, by the way... So tell me how harsh this was for a punishment ?

Finally, who are you to say who needs land and who don't ? And who are you to say that Manouelitis is more deserving of land than say Aristenos over there ?

The difference I see is that Aristenos will await an opportunity to claim his land honourably, while the other disnonorably created an opportunity where there was none...
